Abstract
A memory system is provided. The memory system is comprised of a memory, a clock signal generator, a phase locked loop circuit, and a bypass circuit. The clock signal generator produces a first clock signal. The clock signal generator has a first mode of operation in which the first clock signal has a first frequency and a second mode of operation in which the first clock signal has a second frequency. The phase locked loop circuit is associated with the memory and adapted for receiving the first clock signal and providing a synchronized second clock signal to the memory. The bypass circuit is adapted to deliver the first clock signal to the memory in the second mode of operation.
